an apology for my absence.

Dear SDD fans,

I know that my negligence this summer has left many of you disenchanted with my little website.  For this, I am sorry. I know your life suffered immensely without my periodic witty commentary on Dallas watering holes (HA!  Totally kidding; you probably didn’t even notice I was gone).

I had a tough summer - not gonna lie.  First, the start-up I was working for laid half of its employees off.  To follow that one, my “lease” ended and had to find a new place.  As icing on the cake, a DART bus decided to make my family’s life a living hell.  As some of my Twitter followers may know, my sister was in a very serious accident in May - running in Dallas is brutal; keep your eyes on the road and avoid buses that may try to chase you down.  

I spent the summer basically living with my wonderful sister and trying to get her back to her old self, looking for a job, and looking for a new, more Susie-like apartment.  As you may have surmised, this didn’t leave me much time to drink … or write about it.

I am happy to share that life is somewhat back to normal; I have a new job, a new apartment, and my sister is kicking butt and taking names.  I haven’t ever seen anyone so emotionally strong as my sister during this difficult time.

Thanks to all of you who lent kind words during my summer of hell.

That being said … I’M BACK!  :)  You can expect reviews regularly and my HH list to be updated regularly.

Vodka and kisses -

Susie O :)
